BLADE RUNNER: LOST MEMORIES - "NEXUS DAWN"Blade Runner: Lost Memories is an anthology of digital shorts that bridge the gap between the original film and Blade Runner 2049. In the first episode, "Nexus Dawn," the ruthless Niander Wallace (Jared Leto), CEO of Wallace Corporation, lobbies against the prohibition of replicant technology and introduces his vision for a completely obedient and controllable Nexus model.

Ridley Scott's Blade Runner changed my life. To this day, I’m not sure there’s a more important film in my canon of favorites. Being asked to define a series of pivotal moments between the original film and its sequel, Blade Runner 2049, was an incredibly humbling and remarkable experience.

“Nexus Dawn” is a result of this effort — the first of two short films we created. After the events of the first film, and a series of failed attempts to perfect Replicant technology, the Tyrell Corporation was driven into bankruptcy. Governing authorities passed a law that prohibited the production and existence of Replicants. Years later, Niander Wallace, CEO of Wallace Corporation, attempted to revivify the outlawed technology with the Nexus 9, a docile Replicant model incapable of malfunction or violence. Much like Eldon Tyrell, Wallace views the Replicants as his children, his Angels, primed to help humanity fulfill its destiny and expand its presence throughout the galaxy.
